Chapter 344 Time Weekly

Maria's blonde hair is very eye-catching in Zhang Xuewu's office, which is mainly dark sandalwood and mahogany. Her long golden and flowing hair makes it easy for men to associate with each other. Zhang Xuewu smiled at the female reporter of Time magazine with a Cuban cigar in her mouth. Maria was also obviously very interested in Zhang Xuewu, a newly rising warlord figure in China.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath of the cigar and sprayed out a mouthful of blue smoke and said, "Miss Maria, what I am very interested in is why Time magazine wants to interview me? Instead of interviewing our Chairman Jiang and Mrs. Jiang?"

Maria smiled slightly: "General Zhang, you are the most glorious warlord in China now. Not long ago, you defeated the siege of more than 600,000 troops of the Kwantung Army and the North China Front Army with your own strength. The overall combat power of your 10th War Zone has exceeded the military power of China's political fu. You also announced that you would launch an indiscriminate strike on all targets of Japan, which means you don't care about humanitarian disasters, right? Do you not want to say anything to the above?"

Zhang Xuewu glanced at Maria and said a little displeased: "Miss Maria, please let me correct one of your mistakes. The Japanese invaders are now invading our hinterland. In addition to selling a large amount of oil, scrap steel, aviation engines, and rubber to Japan, the Americans are loans that will keep Japanese militarism. Every dollar you earn has the blood of the Chinese. As an unscrupulous war dealer, the United States has no right to accuse any country or ideology. Moreover, American isolationism is prevalent. You only have the money for transactions, for the people of other countries.

Maria was indifferent to the disaster. I ordered the air force to drop inflame bombs on the Japanese mainland to kill how many Japanese people? Compared with the Japanese army massacred tens of thousands of our soldiers and civilians at Xiaguan after the break of the city of Nanjing, our capital, our methods were not as good as possible, and we cannot even retaliate. We Chinese often say that we should treat others with the same way. It means that if you respect me a foot, I will respect you for a battle. If you kill an innocent compatriot and sister, I will kill you ten nationals! Let’s see if the Chinese nation is destroyed first, or the Yamato nation is destroyed first. Now I ask you Miss Maria to correct your attitude first."

Zhang Xuewu paused and said seriously: "I am not a warlord. I am a soldier of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army. The commander-in-chief of the 10th War Zone under the National Civil Affairs Bureau. The Japanese invaders invaded our Chinese territory. Our soldiers have succeeded and succeeded. As long as the Japanese invaders have not withdrawn from our Chinese territory for a day, our resistance will not stop. This means that all Japanese will be treated indiscriminately and regarded as invaders. In the eyes of soldiers, there is no humanitarianism. The Japanese invaders will not allow us to live a peaceful and happy life. The Japanese invaders killed my compatriots, insulted my sisters, and burned my home. What humanitarianism will we do to these two-legged beasts? For soldiers, being kind to the enemy is cruel to themselves and there is no humanitarian existence at all. The truth is only within my fire range."

Maria was slightly stunned. As the Asia editor-in-chief of Time magazine magazine, the big shot has met Emperor Hirohito from Japan, Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling, Zhang Xueliang and others from China. This interview has a relatively low status. It seems ridiculous that an interviewer made an interviewer correct his attitude? But Zhang Xuewu's aggressive attitude makes Maria feel cold and scared.

This coldness seems to be the kind of coldness that can penetrate deep into the bones caused by the fear of wandering on the edge of death. Before Maria came to Chengde, she arrived in Tokyo and heard a lot of negative news about Zhang Xuewu. However, the power and warlords in a place can compete with an empire with a developed industrial development? This is something that has never been heard before. Moreover, what kind of foreign aid this warlord has, beautiful lovers and wives, young and possess large tracts of China's land, strong and very consistent with the elements of news. This news itself is very attractive.

Zhang Xuewu said majestic, and his words were extremely sharp, and he did not give Maria the face of the editor-in-chief of the Asia region of Time magazine in the United States. Maria said curiously: "General Zhang, as far as I say, almost all senior generals and officials in China want to receive help and assistance from Europe and the United States. If you have this attitude, it may be difficult to gain sympathy in the international community. I came to China with a sincere heart to avoid the occurrence of a greater humanitarian disaster."

Zhang Xuewu smiled and said, "You media are just trying to attract attention for their own popularity and distribution. We do need assistance from the international community and justice. But please note that what we need is support from kindness and justice, rather than kneeling down to pray. As Chinese people, we are not as good as those of the enemy in the face of powerful invasions, weapons, soldiers and training, the officers and soldiers can only build the steel backbone of the Chinese nation with flesh and blood. We can die or even be defeated, but we will never pray for surrender, so the work of politicians is the work of politicians. I am a soldier. My duty and mission tell me that if we do not defeat the Japanese invaders, there is only a dead end."

Maria also smiled and said, "But General Zhang, when the bloody battle with the Japanese Kanto Army in the 10th War Zone, the National Civil Affairs Office was indifferent. The Fifth War Zone stationed hundreds of thousands of troops but did not respond to your battle at all. It seems that the National Civil Affairs Office did not fully recognize you and your Tenth War Zone. There are rumors outside that your troops were supported by the Soviets behind it? So we can defeat the Japanese Kanto Army. Now the international community is very concerned about General Zhang. Will you let the Tenth War Zone be outside the National Civil Affairs Political System? In other words, your Tenth War Zone will appear in a new political landscape?"

Zhang Xuewu shook his head and said, "No! This is a spreading rumors and slander. I am a Chinese nation. I love my country and my nation. I obey the command and leadership of Chairman Jiang. This is a slander and frame-up by people with ulterior motives."

Maria smiled and said, "But General Zhang, you cannot deny that for three years, although Rehe, Suiyuan and Chahar under your jurisdiction have eliminated drug use, it has become a world-wide drug supply base, with all kinds of drugs available. Now 80% of the drug supply in Europe comes from your jurisdiction. Don't you explain anything? Or is this also a frame-up with someone with ulterior motives? The Sino-Japanese War has gone to such a point. Do you think there is a possibility of peace talks between China and Japan?"

Zhang Xuewu smiled slightly and said, "I don't do it, but what did the East India Company of the British Empire do a hundred years ago? I believe you will not forget it? The British used cannons to bombard our country's doors and introduced opium into China. I just refined it and developed a new variety to make it cheaper and acceptable to more people. In other words, Zhang Xuewu sold opium drugs, I admit that compared to the participating countries at the League of Nations meetings, all the countries that condemned Japan, but no one was willing to sanction Japan's aggression, and compared with the Japanese's aggression, the trafficking point

What are drugs? The Americans gave Japan a large loan to purchase strategic materials, but only gave the Chinese a little help to purchase drugs that could be used directly for combat, and gave Japan a loan to buy scrap steel to make bombs to massacre the Chinese, but gave the Chinese a little pitiful loan to purchase drugs? We sold opium entirely out of forced . If the American government, Britain, France and politics can also give us full support like Russia, we can immediately eradicate drug cultivation. Another point is that I, Zhang Xuewu, dare to sell anything, but I, don’t dare to sell the country!”

Maria's interview was interrupted because Zhang Xuewu was busy with official duties. Zhang Xuewu arranged for people from the intelligence agency to accompany the American female reporter to visit a model army like Hu Ben. Zhang Xuewu ignored Maria's affectionate teasing. Zhang Xuewu had not really figured out the real purpose of this American female reporter, because Zhang Xuewu knew that many foreign editors of the Times Weekly in the Later World were agents of the CIA. I believe that this capable Maria might be.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu's arrangements for Maria are very regular. He can't see what should be watched, and what should not be watched! For Zhang Xuewu, being able to be on the cover of Times magazine is indeed an absolutely unexpected thing. Depending on the situation, Miss Maria is not a good target to use and deal with.

Zhang Xuewu has been preparing to make partial adjustments to the entire strategic deployment of the 10th War Zone, because the interpretation of relevant information obtained from intelligence agencies shows that the Japanese Kwantung Army seemed to have an attempt to build a large fortress in Jinzhou was real. The Staff of the 10th War Zone judged that the Japanese army was also adjusting its overall strategy to its strategic focus, because Germany's strong rise in Europe has threatened the security of many European countries, and many countries feel precarious, especially small European countries such as Poland and Belgium. As the Soviet Union, which spans the two continents of Europe and Asia, it has indeed felt a huge potential threat from Germany. It is obviously a bit of a dream to join hands with Britain and France to restrict Germany.

Because Britain and France are now hoping to bring disaster to the east, even if they sacrifice the Czech Republic, Poland and other small countries are willing to do so. The Soviet side is also trying to avoid the dilemma of fighting on both sides of the east and west. Because the Soviets are not ready for war, Britain and France's appeasement policy in Europe has also made the Soviet side extremely angry. The United States, the world's largest industrial power capable of interfering, is enveloped by isolationism, so Germany's rise seems to have become unscrupulous for a time, but the Soviets have a sense of fear for the Germans in their bones. This feeling is actually just like the Japanese feel inferior to the Soviets. The Japanese have always looked down on the Russians. They think that the Slavs are all barbaric and stupid.
